Truncated first day for Tamil Nadu-Kerala Ranji tie Staff Reporter - 27 December 2001
Bad outfield and pitch conditions delayed the start of play until 3:45 p.m. in the Ranji Trophy league match between Tamil Nadu and Kerala at Chennai. With a total of 255 minutes of play lost in the day, Tamil Nadu finally got a crack at the visitors after four inspections at 10:30 a.m., noon, 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. Winning the toss, Tamil Nadu had opted to bowl first, hoping that their seamers would be able to take advantage of the cloudy conditions and dicey pitch. Kerala made it through to the close of play for the loss of only one wicket. Opener MP Sorab was dismissed after having made a brisk 21, but V Girilal and C Sanju took Kerala to 44/1 before play ended.
